Paul Rodgers has been relaxing in the UK for a few weeks and shortly will be back on
the road. Next gig coming up. 28th Oct 2000 at the Fontana Speedway .. Fontana CA Rumours
he will be singing the national Anthem. Wow would love to hear that.

"This five hour show is broken down into five one hour shows that will air from
Monday, November 13 through Friday November 17 in the U.S. I am sure the guests that visit
your site would enjoy this program and see where their favorite artists are on the list.
The artists were voted on by other hard rock musicians, critics and others in the know
about hard rock music. The artists on the show range from heavy metal, punk, alternative
and more so its sure to hit on everyone's favorites.

Soul/R&B legend Don Covay has written hits for The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin,
Huey Lewis & The News, Dave Edmunds, Bonnie Raitt, and just about everybody else. Don
Covay & Friends is Dons first recorded work in 25 years, and will be
released this fall.

Don Covay & Friends features primarily new compositions written by Don
this year, as well as several of his best-known songs. Don is helped out by some very
talented friends who were eager to show their gratitude: Paul Rodgers, Wilson Pickett,
Huey Lewis, Dan Penn, Frederick Knight, Syl Johnson, Otis Clay, Ann Peebles, and Paul
Shaffer.

The band on the album is led by producer Jon Tiven (guitar/organ), and features his
wife Sally Tiven (bass), Anton Fig (drums), Paul Shaffer (piano), and guest appearances by
Lee Konitz (saxophone), Kim Simmonds (boogie guitar), Mason Casey (harmonica), and Robert
Butch Johnson (tremelo guitar). In addition, Ronnie Wood has drawn two new
portraits of Don for the album art.

Don had a major stroke in 1992 and has been slowly building his way back to the making
of this record. Don is my idol and a good friend, and its been a great
pleasure to see him able to write and sing again, explains Tiven, who produced
Wilson Picketts comeback album, Its Harder Now, which recently took
home three W.C. Handy.

With all the editing now almost complete we are ready to move into the next stage of
our long project. We are finally ready to start taking orders. Heavy Load will be offered
in a 275 - 300 page hardback edition. The book will be printed on a glossy heavy gauge
paper stock and fully stitched into the binding to provide a long life. The cover is heavy
card and sealed with an almost leather feel protective coat onto which the cover art is
printed. The quality of materials and printing is superb and this really will be a
worthwhile addition of any music fans library.

The page count isn't yet finalised as we still have a little work to do but the book
includes around 430 photographs, many previously unpublished, and masses of memorabilia.
We have a forward written by Chris Blackwell and an introduction by Al Kooper. Initial
chapters include many family photographs from band members own personal archives, and
those from the private collection of David Kossoff. The text runs the complete pre-history
of the personnel, the complete history of Free, and the full history up to the death of
Paul Kossoff. This spans 23 chapters packed with pictures and quotes.

Following this there is a section of quotes from people remembering Koss, and Free -
then an epilogue bringing many of the personal historys of the books many characters up to
date. There is then a comprehensive ten page gig and studio itinerary along with a
discography, information on the FAS and the authors of Heavy Load.

Call in tonight. Sunday 6/25/00. We would love to have you ask a few questions for Paul
Rodgers. You have a great site. The show starts at 10PM Eastern. His segment willl run
about an hour or so. Call 800-762-5825 and please let your friends know about it.

This will be live and you can hear it on the radio or on one of my live audio feeds.
Just go to www.alhandelman.com and look for the
audio feed links (you will need Media Player or Real Audio). Also, you may want to hang
out in the chat room. If you get through to speak to Paul, you will hear the show while
you're on hold waiting. Identify yourself to the phone screener as Internet listener.
Start calling in early. If you wait too long, it will be busy.

This week Allan welcomes Rock icon Paul Rodgers. As one of Rock n Rolls most
distinctive vocalists, many musicians and critics dubbed him The Voice. Rogers first
crashed on the international music scene with his rock anthem ALL RIGHT NOW with FREE.
Later, he went on to form BAD COMPANY and had dozens of hits including CANT GET ENOUGH,
FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE, SHOOTING STAR, BAD COMPANY and RUNNING WITH THE BACK. Later he
formed THE FIRM with Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, which generated the radio hits such as
RADIOACTIVE, and SATIFACTION GUARANTEED. His brand new solo release is called ELECTRIC.
Paul Rogers fans need to call in early (starting at 10PM Eastern). Use 800-762-5825.

Speaking of Rock icons, also joining Allan this week, guitar legend Peter Frampton.
Framptons days with Steve Marriott and HUMBLE PIE produced some great Hard Rock classics
including I DONT NEED NO DOCTOR, CMON EVERYBODY and 30 DAYS IN THE HOLE. Then later on his
FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE became the best selling live album in history. His new CD is called
FRAMPTON LIVE IN DETROIT

RAVING REVIEWS FROM ENGLAND ABOUT THE FREE BOX SET WOW, FANS ARE DELIGHTED...........

NOT ONE BAD REVIEW YET FROM FANS, ONLY BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, AWESOME, ETC.

The cover, the 60-page booklet and the sound of Free are just amazing. Don't be put off
by the cost. It's worth every penny & more!! I have just heard it and think it's just
brilliant.

At this time, I only know of two web sites you can purchase the BOX SET. For US
residents, you will get VAT (UK sales tax) refunded which lowers the cost. They take most
credit cards -- HMV -- Amazon
UK.

David Clayton has experinced some technical problems with his computer. If you had
PRE-ORDERED the FREE BOOK through this website, PLEASE write to him again at bookoffer@aol.com to verify your order.

Thank you for your co-operation.

From David Clayton and Todd Smith.

HEAVY LOAD
THE STORY OF FREE

With the possibility that we might "self publish" the first ever book about
Free (by David Clayton & Todd Smith) we'd like to take a reading on how many of you
would like to buy a copy/copies. We intend to make the price point around GBP19.99 (that's
British Pounds and is approx. US$32), which is the same as Cherry Red or Northdown
Publishing would have charged but with complete control over the finished item we intend
to make this something really special and are looking over everything from heavy quality
paper stock to photo reproduction. All books can be signed by us if you wish, we'll sort
all that stuff out later and we hope to reward those who advance order in some way. A
signed and numbered advance order edition maybe, or something similar.

You need only e-mail once. A reply will be forwarded with full details and exact price
(including post & packaging) once details are confirmed. You won't hear from us until
then. Publication is likely to be around April/May. If you've already sent an SAE via the
Free Appreciation Society please do not respond via e-mail. We only need you to place an
order by one method or the other.

This year's annual Free Convention is to be held on Saturday the 6th May in the Park
Hotel, Tynemouth, from 18:30hrs till late.

It's the 14th such event, this year marking the 30th anniversary of the release of Fire
& Water and All Right Now. The organiser, Bill Flynn, is hoping that with the
anticipated release of the Free Box Set, a good deal of interest in the band and the
Convention will be generated.

The format for the event will be 2 or 3 live tribute bands including the return of
Midlands based "Free At Last" who really got the audience rocking last year.
Archive film footage will be shown, including recent performances of Bad Company (USA
1999). Free and Paul Kossoff memorabilia will also be on sale.

Ticket prices are GBP 7.50 in advance and are limited to 350. For advance tickets and
more information contact Bill Flynn on 01282 868352.

BOA's CD Race of a Thousand Camels can be purchased from Amazon.uk.com.
Amazon also features some buyer reviews, all rating this CD 5 out of 5. Get it while it's
in stock. It is an import from Japan so they have only so many to sell.

No more dreaming about it. No more waiting for it. The Free box set is finally here, 5
CDs and a 60 page colour booklet packed into a long box with slipcase. Its taken two years
to complete and its finally released on May8th. There shouldnt be any more delays (Fingers
crossed!!)

While Island have taken an eternity to sort out its pricing policy on the set, I can
now offer it through the FAS at the price of GBP 45.00 + GBP 3.00 for First Class postage
& packing. I've already seen it advertised at GBP 54.99 + P&P (I've also seen it
for GBP 60!!!) so this price should save you some money, even if not as much as I'd hoped.
All copies will be sent out by first class mail using Recorded Delivery and you can order
as many copies as you like, so tell your friends to order via the FAS, too. I was hoping
to get the set VAT free but sadly that's not the case, sorry. This is the best deal I can
get and boy, have I tried to beat that price down. Even as the guy who put the set
together this is the best I can do for you all.

- For Europe the price is GBP 45.00 + GBP 5.00 P&P.

- For the Rest Of The World GBP 45.00 + GBP 7.00 P&P.

This should be quite a saving on the imported prices of the set. If you want to pay in
US Dollars ($) you can, but ONLY in cash by REGISTERED MAIL. The total $ price is
US$81.00.

No $ checks (cheques) or eurocheques can be accepted. I cannot cash foreign cheques nor
any foreign currencies except US Dollars, sorry, but these all carry a hefty charge of
around GBP 6.00 per transaction. However, American Express Travellers Cheques (not Visa or
any other) are okay in GBP (Pounds Sterling) ONLY. These are available at all good travel
agents and banks. Sign them top and bottom and put David Clayton on the middle
line. Send them by REGISTERED POST ONLY to ensure safe delivery. You can also send
International Postal Orders in GBP (Pounds Sterling). Work out which is the best or
cheapest for you and use that method. Dollar cash is the most obvious for those of you in
the USA and is likely to be the cheapest and the least hassle.

All sets will be mailed on the day of release or just before if I can get them earlier.
Please get your money in as soon as possible. I need to get the FAS order in by May 4th.

All cheques and POs should be made payable to David Clayton. Send your order
to:

Please ensure you state how many copies you'd like, the total amount you've enclosed
and PRINT IN CAPITALS your mailing name and address exactly as it should be written on
your package.

Okay, that's it. I'd just like to add that if your a Free fan, you are going to LOVE
this set. Before it arrives make sure you have: good beer, good liquer, good chocolate or
whatever your personal passion. All three sound pretty good, actually. The FREE
APPRECIATION SOCIETY Magazine, Issue 86, has comprehensive track details and comments.
It's an ideal listening companion if you need the full history of the tracks. Subscription
details are on the Allrightnow.com site.

A full track listing is enclosed below in case you've not seen it yet.

Finally, the news you've been waiting for. The set will feature 5 CDs, all 24 bit
remastered from the original master tapes by Peter Mew at Abbey Road. The box will come
with a 60 page booklet which is being designed by Phil Smee. The set will include a new
essay by Phil Sutcliffe and a full sessionology by some bloke called David Clayton.
Everything is looking good and sounding fantastic. This is the finalised listing.

The material is a combination of unissued mixes / alternative masters and new 1999
Richard Digby Smith mixes. Some material on this set has actually never been mixed before
so it was necessary to have someone in to help. Diga, having worked with Free throughout
most of their career, was the obvious choice and has done a fantastic job. Everything
sounds great.

The set as proposed here is around 99% unreleased and features many new tracks, also
the new mixes almost exclusively feature alternative vocals, alternative or extra guitar
tracks and so forth. The live material has been remixed and due to new advances in
recording technology we've been able to rescue material the band couldn't use for Free
Live! due to electrical crackles and various anomalies.

The material for disc 5 encompasses all the related bands and will be included in a
specially designed tape box pouch. This will include unreleased material from Peace, Paul
Rodgers and Rabbit along with rare material from Sharks and alternative KKTR tracks. Also
included for the first time is the complete version of TIME AWAY, over 18 minutes of it.
Andy Fraser refused to allow the release of any Toby or Fraser/Miller Band material. Any
complaints should be relayed to him and not me.

And wait until you see the Free Book 'Heavy Load' available soon. It's packed with the
full story of the band, overflowing with pictures (most printed for the first time) and
boasts 300 A4 pages. This will be available directly from us soon. Pre-order e-mail
address on Allrightnow.com.

the next 4 to 6 weeks.

"Most European countries issued colourful sleeves, as well as Israel and Thailand.
They look great! I have the Mk1 line-up pretty well covered (about 200 singles from around
the world - 50 with picture sleeves!), but I need more info about singles (and scan of
sleeves) from the Mk2 (Howe) and Mk3 (Hart) line-ups. - anybody who wants to help me out
can send me an e-mail. Working from Europe, I
especially would like to hear from people in the US and overseas countries. I also need
details of promo singles - again, especially from later years."
